Comics come of age!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Ron Goulart has written an absorbing history of the comic strips popular during the 1930s. Among the strips he examines are: Buck Rogers, Tarzan, Little Orphan Annie, Flash Gordon and Dick Tracy (to name some of the obvious ones) and also many which are less often remembered today, including: The Red Knight, Scorchy Smith, The Gumps, Bronc Peeler and Secret Agent X-9. Goulart looks at the history of the art form and places it in a cultural context. He includes interviews with comic artists who were pioneers in the field, such as Roy Crane and Milton Caniff. If you are a comics fan, this book will enrich your enjoyment of your hobby. If you are not, you will come away with a greater appreciation for the importance of this art form.
